Of Quotes and Books

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me” C.S. Lewis

“Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are “patches of Godlight” in the woods of our experience.” C.S. Lewis

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a def world.” C.S. Lewis

“Pain is important because it awakens us from the illusion that all is well in the universe. It reminds us that we are a fallen race living in a fallen world and that we need help from outside ourselves to heal the effects of our fallenness. This is why Lewis called pan a megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” – from the book The Spiritual Legacy of C.S. Lewis
